Harriet Bowman - Wordpress Site
Client: Harriet Bowman
A portfolio site for artist Harriet Bowman, featuring custom typography and a colour scheme determined by live traffic data. The artist’s work touches on themes of cars and car culture, so this is a central theme of the site. A custom tyre-track font was developed for use on the site as a header logo. Live traffic data collected from an API is fed into the site where it controls the colour scheme of the site. If traffic is clear on the M32 motorway then the site’s main colour is blue. If the traffic is slow the site is orange, and if the traffic is at a standstill the site is red. Essays and audio works sit alongside galleries of exhibition shows the artist has created.

Unfold Gently - Astro Site
Client: Deborah Aguirre Jones
A bespoke Astro website designed and developed for Deborah Aguirre Jones, a holistic massage therapist working in Cardiff. The site has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, using subtle animated typography to introduce the idea of massage as a therapeutic tool for healing. The site has a content management system, utilising Storyblok for this purpose. This allows Deborah to manage the site herself, updating any aspect of the site whenever necessary.

Visual Culture Research Group - Wordpress Site
Client: VCRG, UWE
A bright, colour-rich and playful site for an academic research group. The group’s research practice are varied and interesting, so the site needed to represent this and resist flattening the work or making it feel dry. An interactive hero section with a dynamic logo invites the user to participate as soon as they arrive at the site. Matter.js was used to create a world of floating colourful elements that flood the screen in places, creating playful moments for site visitors. The site is Wordpress-based, allowing the groups older content and posts to be presented in a fresh and engaging way alongside all of the new content.

Promenade Weekender Festival Website & Program
Client: Sam Francis
The arts weekender website is maximalist, quirky and a riot of colours and shapes. Weston is a slightly weird place and we wanted the site to embrace that and challenge the conventions of a typical arts festival website Rooted in Westons unique coastal landscape, Promenade considers an ecology of place, and our relationship with the environment we live in.’

Left Cultures Shopify Store
Client: Left Cultures
A bold and distinctive Shopify store for a journal about politically Left cultures from around the world. The store is in the final stages of development and will be pushed live in summer 2023. Jono is a talented, experienced and professional designer. Throughout the process of creating our new website he has been understanding of our creative needs and bought into our philosophy. This has resulted in a website presence we are very proud of having here at Left Cultures HQ. We would recommend him to any client wanting design work across all types of platforms. He was a pleasure to work with and we will certainly be asking him for his services in the near future.Phil Wrigglesworth, Left Cultures The journal’s print format was already established by its designer, Marco Ugolini. Printed with a stark cover of bold type on red paper, the store needed to reflect this distinctive approach throughout. As the journal expands into multiple issues the editorial team wanted there to be an online index of authors, artists and topics. This was achieved using a combination of custom javascript and an unconventional use of tagged blog posts in the backend. The result is highly filterable author, artist and lexicon pages that allows readers to understand which topics are covered, and by who, in which issue. Further functionality was added to the site in the form of tagged author suggestions, which randomly display links to authors featured in the issue on the product page for that issue, allowing readers to get a better sense of the contributors to the journal. Two price tiers and a currency switcher was an essential aspect of the new site too, the latter allowing for greater foreign sales of the magazine, something that was inhibited by the site’s first iteration on the Cargo platform.
